Newman's E30/Skyline swap thread

[newman]

What do you mean about the guy who took it?
Someone stole it?

what?

[newman]

Your description of getting trapped made me claustrophobic. Eff that.

Car's coming together nicely now. Do you feel you're over the hump now that wiring is complete?

haha
the hump was a long time ago... All I really have to do is mount the brake reservoir, loom the harness and start it. Then add body panels. :)

Nice. Always a great feeling when a huge wiring job works the first time :)

Are you going to be doing any wire stealthing on the interior and engine bay?

[Stephen]

too much poke

This is pretty all the wires you will see in the engine bay. Everything else is hidden. Not much I can do w/ the EFI harness. All the other chassis wiring in the bay will be hidden:



The interior should have most of the wiring hidden as well, save for the wires that run to the rear of the car.

Early model + M-Tech 1 = fucking WIN. Can't wait to see the finished product, those flares look bitchin.

Lol, seriously?

Interesting routing of the dump pipe. No low-mount option?

*EDIT* I forgot you guys have a steering knuckle down there...

[phreshkid]

Yeah man I'm pretty serious.
I'm not the brightest kid in the galaxy so sometimes I ask questions.
As of this point, unless I missed a massive amount of sarcasm somewhere which I took seriously, I'm assuming his late STi was stolen; which is what I'm trying to have clarified in the first place. Help me out
